1 Peter 4:17
For the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God?
The context of this verse is talking about suffering especially the ones that Christians have to go through. It is a false belief that Christians don't go through suffering. In another Scripture it says since our Lord suffers, then how could we think we will not suffer. One crucial point is that our sufferings are not necessarily punishments for our sins. When we go through unrighteous sufferings like Yshua, then we are called to rejoice, be glad, glorify God and are blessed to share the same kind of sufferings as our Lord.
